yay for a busy albums week finally :D

 

Mark Ronson should easily get the #1, as 'Uptown Funk' will undoubtedly give him a big boost with casual buyers

 

Fall Out Boy's previous album sold just under 25k f/w, depending on how much 'American Beauty/American Psycho' does it could either peak at #2, or possibly get stuck behind the usual Ed/George/Sam trio at #5 (hopefully the former), and for Enter Shikari i'm expecting a safe top 10 finish around #6/7 ~

 

4. Mark Ronson - Uptown Special

10. Enter Shikari - The Mindsweep

13. Above & Beyond - We Are All We Need

22. Fall Out Boy - American Beauty / American Psycho

33. Belle and Sebastian - Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance

40. Marilyn Manson - The Pale Emperor (Deluxe)

55. The Decemberists - What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World

104. Funeral for a Friend - Chapter Verse (Bonus Track Version)

160. The Waterboys - Modern Blues

184. Sleater-Kinney - No Cities To Love

 

255. Etienne de Crecy - Super Discount 3

533. Viet Cong - Viet Cong

595. Aqualung - 10 Futures

665. Boxed In - Boxed In

925. Hanni El Khatib - Moonlight

 

I was actually expecting to see Fall Out Boy at #1 in the first update given how high up their instant grats were. In an ideal world, we'd have a new T3 for the first time in a while with Fall Out Boy, Mark Ronson and Enter Shikari, but sadly I can see George Ezra, Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran all messing that up; wouldn't surprise me if none of the new releases made the #1 :(

^ it seemed like FOB's pre-orders weren't added on the first update (judging by Ronson/Shikari shooting up and FOB remaining stable). not sure if they've been added now but they're top 2 now anyway~

 

Mark Ronson 1

Fall Out Boy 2

Enter Shikari 4

Above & Beyond 8

Belle and Sebastian 18

The Decemberists 29

Marilyn Manson 34

The Waterboys 44

Funeral For a Friend 69

Sleater-Kinney 71

Boxed In 178

Etienne de Crécy 196

 

Good to see some new albums hitting the chart!

Ah, Kid Ink's album isn't out for a couple more weeks - it was in the new release schedule for this week so must have been pushed back.

Top 100 update (19/01/2015, 22:00)

 

Other pre-orders top 200: Joey Bada$$ #102, James Bay #116, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds #124, Rae Morris #127, All Time Low #128, Imagine Dragons #169, The Cribs 'For All My Sisters' #173 (:o they still exist?), Kid Ink #197.

 

Not quite the all-new top 3 I was expecting, 'The Weekender' must still be selling pretty well to hold off Enter Shikari on their first day of release. I was expecting Fall Out Boy to be #1, their pre-orders seemingly not being added on may be the reason they aren't (Mark would likely have overtaken later in the week anyway).

Björk's new album is #1 :o Seems the hype around its sudden early release is working wonders. Bjöncé is real.

Seems it's only a download release so far as it's not on Amazon. Maybe there's just a bit of a delay/error and it'll be available physically soon as.

It was released at very short notice, which I presume is easy to do digitally but rather harder to do with a physical release.

It leaked days earlier so I imagine they rush released the digital version as it wasn't planned for release for quite a few weeks I thought

Top 100 update (21/01/2015, 22:00)

 

More pre-orders: The Prodigy #105, James Bay #122, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds #158, Imagine Dragons #165, Kid Ink #180.

 

I wonder if Björk could outchart her last album even on downloads alone? 'Biophilia' only got to #21 so 'Vulnicura' will only need to sell maybe 7k (accounting for the large number of new releases) to do so. Definitely would have done it last week I think.

There have been a handful of new album releases today for some reason (Hardwell, another new Aphex Twin release I wasn't aware existed (was this unannounced or do I just not pay attention?) and Dirty Sterling whoever that may be). Saor Patrol at #23 and #82 were apparently on The One Show today and the Martyn Bennett album at #56 seems to be related to something or other else that was on TV yesterday.

New artist album releases this week

New single EP releases this week

Charting on pre-orders alone

Yeah, I saw the Aphex Twin album on Amazon last weekend but I think it's a deliberately secretive release. Apparently it's a "13-track EP".

Top 100 update (25/01/2015, 22:00)

 

Apols for lack of update yesterday, was distracted by BJSC stuff ~ Mark has been #1 since the last update anyhow.

 

More pre-orders: Kid Ink #104, The Prodigy #112, Meghan Trainor standard #132, James Bay #149, Gaz Coombes 'Matador' #153, Ricky Dillon #156, Charli XCX #172, Imagine Dragons #174, Kodaline #175, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds #185.

 

Meghan Trainor and Rae Morris should be top 10 at least this week, possibly top 5. Actually can't call the #1 at this stage, I don't think Meghan will quite get there and I'm not sure how well Mark and FOB are likely to hold up so I wouldn't be massively surprised if this is finally the week Ed returns to #1 again. The Charlatans, Chicane, Gaz Coombes, Papa Roach and Selena Gomez should all also be new entries this week (there seems to be very little hype for the latter but all her previous albums have gone top 20 - then again this one is just a greatest hits).

Top 100 update (26/01/2015, 22:00)

 

Meghan has made it to #1 on iTunes (though I don't think she's miles ahead, I'm sure it wasn't too long ago I checked and she was still stuck behind Mark and FOB). Whether she can do it officially remains to be seen ~

 

2 Demis Roussos compilations entering the top 100 following the news of his death today. R.I.P.

 

A pretty decent boost for The Prodigy's pre-order from the premiere of the title track. More pre-orders: James Bay #115, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds #165, Kodaline #167, Charli XCX #185, Sleeping With Sirens #186.

Rae Morris doing quite poorly on downloads anyway, she'll be lucky to do 15k at this rate :(

Rae Morris doing quite poorly on downloads anyway, she'll be lucky to do 15k at this rate :(

15k would seem pretty ambitious honestly :P i'd expect her to sell around 7-8k at most (she's still pretty much unknown in the grand scheme of things, at least right now)
